Chapter 838 – The Disappearing Heavenly Court
Lin Qiye nodded and continued to ask, “What about the others?”
”They are still too young and were continued to stay in that mysterious space to cultivate by their masters, that space comes with its own prohibitions, only until we are seventeen years old can we leave on our own.”
Fang Mo’s date of birth was just one day short of the date that the [Mortal Dust God’s Domain] opened fifteen years ago, and he should be the oldest of all the children, and it was only natural for him to be the first to come out of that space.
”What about the Great Summer Gods? Where are they now?” Lin Qiye asked the most wanted question in his heart.
Fang Mo hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
”I don’t know …… After bringing us into that mysterious space, the masters left, and recently after I turned seventeen and walked out of that space, I didn’t see them either, and even that golden remnant between the mountains has disappeared.
In that mountain range, only our cave remains.”
”Disappeared?”
Lin Qiye froze.
In terms of time, Fang Mo and the others had been cultivating in that mysterious space for three years, and a year should have passed in the outside world, which meant that as early as a year ago, the Great Summer God had disappeared with the Heavenly Court after sending these children into the mysterious space?
At this moment, Lin Qiye recalled the words that Shao Pingge had said to him when he was at the Shangjing squad’s location:
”The Great Summer God, is no longer in Great Summer.”
In this year’s time, where exactly did they go with the Heavenly Court?
”After worshipping under Master, Master also told us the truth about Cangnan, and he often told us that the only reason we exist is because of Lord Lin Qiye.” Fang Mo said sincerely, “Our souls, our lives, our childhoods, were all given to us by Lord Seven Nights, and he hoped that in the future, we would follow in Lord Seven Nights’ footsteps, and follow you around as your swords and blades.
All of us, we look up to Lord Seven Nights very much!”
Looking at the light of adoration in Fang Mo’s eyes, Lin Qiye was a bit embarrassed, but he still tried to control his expression and spoke seriously:
”No matter what, your current identity is that of a Night’s Watchman, following the spirit and duties of a Night’s Watchman is the first priority, understand?”
”Understood!”
”Well, go to sleep, this should be your last peaceful sleep for quite some time to come.
Starting tomorrow, your days …… will be difficult.”
A train sped along the tracks, whimpering through the darkness of the night.
The night was deep, and the lights in the carriages gradually went out, leaving only the faint indicator lights emitting a faint glow.
At the end of the hard sleeper area, where the two carriages are connected, several plainly dressed migrant workers are sitting in urea sacks, leaning their heads against the wall of the train, their figures swaying gently with the swaying of the train, and in the low, noisy creaking sound of the carriages, they hang their heads down and have already entered the land of dreams.
In the corner of this group of people, a teenager sat leaning against the floor by the door of the carriage, looking up at the moonlight through the round glass on the door, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lu Baoyu had been away from home for so long that the money he earned on the road was basically spent, he had thought that he wouldn’t be able to use the money after he came to Shangjing, but who knew that he would still be kicked out of the training camp and would have no choice but to embark on the journey home.
With the money left on him, he couldn’t afford to buy a hard sleeper with a hard seat, he could only barely buy a ticket without a seat and a small bucket of instant noodles.
Train traveling, the moon outside the window gradually receded, disappeared in the field of vision of Lu Baoyu, he helplessly sighed, closed his eyes, gradually sank into dreamland ……
Just as he was about to fall asleep, a piercing and noisy child’s cry rang out from the carriage behind him, disturbing everyone’s sleepiness.
Lu Baoyu instinctively frowned, the violence in his heart couldn’t help but rise, he turned back to look at the carriage behind him, only to see that a child was pointing at the bubble noodles in the hands of the man in the next seat, wailing and crying.
In the depths of his eyes, a flash of crimson loomed.
But in the end, he didn’t get up, but closed his eyes and took a deep breath, forcing down the irritation and anger within him.
Amidst the child’s unreasonable clamor, Lu Baoyu’s heart once again returned to peace.
”Are you willing?”
A voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
Lu Baoyu’s eyes snapped open!
He looked around, no one was talking to him in the dimly lit carriage ……
Lu Baoyu turned his head, his gaze looking towards the car window beside him, in the reflection of the glass, his left eye had been black as ink at some point, a human face loomed in his eye.
That was the face of the Ancient God Church member who had blown himself up in the intensive training camp.
”Who are you?” Lu Baoyu’s eyes colored crimson as he growled lowly.
”You can call me [Demon Child], I’m from the Church of the Ancient God.” The voice rang in Lu Baoyu’s ears unhurriedly, “Don’t be nervous, I’m just temporarily attaching my soul to your eyes, I can’t manipulate your body and I won’t be detrimental to you, I’m just chatting with you by the way.”
”I don’t need to chat, get lost!” Lu Baoyu’s voice was a little higher, waking up the sleeping people around him directly, they looked at Lu Baoyu with a somewhat puzzled expression.
Lu Baoyu clenched his teeth, directly stood up from the floor, ran into the restroom and locked the door with his backhand.
He looked at his dark left eye in the mirror, the crimson in his eye burned hotter and hotter, and his violent and ferocious Fallen Angel aura radiated out.
”Don’t bother, you’re just a rookie in the ‘Pool’ realm, even with Fallen Angel divine power, you won’t be able to drive me out of your eyes.” The demon child sneered.
”What the hell do you want?!”
Lu Baoyu slammed his fist on the mirror, knocking his own self in the mirror apart, the broken lens cutting through his flesh, blood flowing down his palm and dropping in drops into the sink.
”Any interest in joining the Church of the Ancient Gods?” The Demon Child’s voice was full of compulsion, “Your potential, shouldn’t be buried, the Night’s Watch is a bunch of rigid, stubborn, careful people, it’s impossible for someone like you to fit in with them.
You are a demon with the power of a fallen angel, and deserve to stay where you belong …… Come to the Church of the Ancient God, here, are all your kind.
No one will dictate your character, no one will restrain your behavior because of ridiculous justice and morality, here you can act recklessly, we can even use the power of the church to help you kill Lin Qiye!”
”Heh.” Lu Baoyu laughed coldly when he heard these words, “So, it’s because you want to pull me in?”
”That’s right.”
”The Church of the Ancient God, that’s the organization where that …… punk who was killed by Lin Qiye in one move?” A mocking look surfaced at the corner of Lu Baoyu’s mouth.
Upon hearing these words, the devil child’s voice lurched before he spoke morosely, “Kid, you better show some respect.”
”Am I wrong?” Lu Baoyu stood up straight, “To use such a big battle to mess with the training camp, only to end up in such a sorry state, if you guys aren’t trash, who is?”
